Hello, I feel this is a rather big issue as it affects performance and workflow in TVPaint. I am working with the dongleless version (TVPaint Animation 11.5.3.10173wo Pro (64 wibu). Since I have switched to the dongleless version I have problems with the drawing tools and the selection tools (i.e. F...

Thank you, Xavier. So it's a bug in the latest version, if I understand correctly? I don't have any older versions installed, mostly to avoid conflicts between the various versions. (dongle vs dongleless for example) . I'll find another solution, for now it's good to know that the problem is not on ...

Yes, I just reinstalled the same version (11.5.3 10173wo Pro (64 wibu)) and the error still shows up.

Thank you, Xavier.

Hello Sewie, did the issue start occuring overnight or after updating TVPaint? Could try creating an alternative user config in the Startup Panel (enabled from the Startup tab of the Preferences) and see if the issue persists with it, please? Hello Dean, I just tried with a new configuration from t...

Thanks for the help, Shabazy.
I have no idea what codec TVpaint is not finding. With previous versions of TVPaint these exports worked fine so I suspect it's a TVPaint issue.

Could someone from the TVPaint team chip in, please...?

Hi Shabazzy, I'm not sure how to check which codecs are installed and how I can check if TVPaint sees them? I have installed a bunch of codecs over time, including the FFmpeg for TVPaint use, but I have no idea where the system - or TVPaint for that matter - put them... I'm working with the latest v...

Hello, I need to export my work to send it to an editor. For some reason TVPaint gives me the following error when I try to export to any of the mp4 lossless formats. MP4_Error.PNG Anybody know what this is or how I can get my work exported to a lossless format? (Btw, this also happens when I try to...

Michael, Nathan, can you try this version of the Sentinel drivers: https://owncloud.tvpaint.com/index.php/s/J5LLPggTDcxo39O ? If it still doesn't work, I would suggest migrating to the new dongleless system. Safenet dongles are a legacy protection system, and we won't be supporting them forever (it...

Hello, I have exactly the same issue. I tried updating from 11.0.10 to 11.5.3 and after installation TVPaint won't open any more. I get the same message window as in the original post. Dongle is there, dongle light is on. I tried replugging the dongle, I tried reinstalling the Sentinel drivers. All ...

I wish I had your scripting talent, though. There is some amazing stuff in there!

Thanks for the link Nathan.
Those are some great tools in your custom panel! (For a many of them I'll have to figure out what they do, though.)

Yes, that's the tab I'm using. And I'm exporting the structure as psd files (like you have in your screengrab).

I have found a few psd scripts like this but I don't have a Photoshop licence anymore. I quit Adobe when they switched to the subscription model. (The last version I owned was CS2, I believe, and it doesn't play well with my system. Too outdated by now.) It is a last option, though, to get a Photosh...

Hello TVPainters, When working on storyboards I often need to export the entire project as a sequence of layered psd's (in addition to jpegs and/or pdf's). I usually create my board panels on a timeline in a single clip. So it often happen that not every instance of that clip will have artwork on al...
